I would ask if any two people on the planet exist that are "normal" and have no baggage. I know of none. Its no different with bipolar. Just because you suffer from it doesnt mean you are like every other person with bipolar.

For me, my bipolar is part of me. It does not define me, rather it limits my capabilities. Me Living within those capabilities is what others see. When I go too far I crash, when I am manic I work, talk, eat , spend.

To me, when I dated my second wife, it was my caring yet crazy personality that initially attracted her. I didn't hide who I was, nor did I spread it. To anyone who cares, they can see "it - the bipolar monkey" that sits on my back. Don't worry too much about bipolar holding you back, use it by enjoying the highs and riding out the lows.

If some one is attracted to you...let them come along for the ride....they'll soon decided whether they want to stay on or jump off...in the meantime be true to yourself and let them discover who you are....monkey and all [emoji12][emoji6]
